You clearly don't. It had to be explained to you.

It wasn't the returner, dumbass. It was a teammate signaling to everyone else.

I wonder if people have considered the effects an invalid fair catch motion could have on the kicking team. Those effects just might be the reason that there is a distinction between valid signaling and invalid signaling.

Yeah it's called Saban and the SEC office paying the refs. Next question.
The other deep receiver from Tennessee waived off the return. You can't fake out the players charging down the field and then decide to run the ball after they have pulled up thinking that the play is going to be dead.
You don't see this happen very often because most teams have return players who know what they are doing.

Post video or pictures of the player waiving off the return.

Speaking of the rule book, it should have been spotted at the 25 if deemed an invalid fair catch. They fricked it up even by the rule book
Read the exception there bama friend
Absolutely nothing says an invalid fair catch on a free kick should be where the receiver catches the ball. Nothing. Read your own rule book

I swear. You Bama fans are the most sensitive collection of bleeding vaginas in all of college football. Ask a simple question about a bizarre play and you all get super defensive.
There has been like 20 threads this morning bitching that Bama and the refs collude and cheat.
Even if that wasn’t what you were trying to say, maybe you can forgive where Bama fans were a little defensive and lumped in in with the other 20 threads.

I watched the broadcast on CBS.
CBS showed the other deep receiver waiving his hands so the dead ball rule applied.
The SEC network will show a replay of this game so tune in.

No, they didn’t show him waving his hands. They showed him making balled fists with his hands at his sides.

To state the call objectively and succinctly, it was subjective bullshite.

Sure looked like it to me and I wasn't pulling for either team to win.
From my point of view, the calls were much worse/biased in the Tennessee - Florida game.

Irrelevant, because the guy who made the invalid signal wasn't even trying to catch the ball. The other guy is the one who caught the ball.

If the player can’t do the fair catch signal correctly he deserves to be lit up
While I agree with you in principle, I’d be pretty upset as a coach if one of my guys lit a dude up and got a 15 yard penalty for it. It would be subjectively up to the ref if a guy’s signal was valid or,not.

I have the solution to all of this kickoff bullshite.
Move the KO spot back to the 30 yard line, the ball is live when kicked until it goes out of bounds/out of the end zone or is downed by the receiving team/recovered by the kicking team, and get rid of the stupid fair catch crap.

The reality that two different signals were given created a problem for the players sprinting down the field to be able to figure out what to do.
The 2018 fair catch rule change was put in to avoid kickoff injuries. The Tennessee players created a situation where there was a higher probability for an injury to occur.

Iowa had a td called back after they had a player do the same thing. Be that as it may it didn't stop Tennessee from running their offense. Tennessee still had the ball. Tennessee offensively was bad the second half with some bone headed play calling and 4th down calls.
To pretend that an offensive scheme 3 yard out of your own end zone would be the same as one with some breathing room is pretty damn dumb, even for a bama fan

So if the returner is running to the ball and his arms are moving around his waist
Rule 331.332 section 8 paragraph 14 Subsection 67.3 states.
All kick and punt returners must stand or run after the kicked ball with both hands firmly plastered to the sides of their legs. Especially if you are playing in Turdsville.

If any kickoff defender falls for this…
… being remotely like a fair catch motion, they deserve what they get.

How do you stand, pal? With your arms at your sides like a normal person?
Like a normal person. My arms are straight down. Not elevated.
Are they saying this is just a normal way of standing?
